Why was Survivor winner Richard Hatch sentenced to prison?
A federal jury found Richard Hatch guilty of tax evasion for failing to pay taxes on income that included the $1,000,000 grand prize that he’d won after convincing his Survivor jury that he deserved to be crowed the champion of the popular reality show’s initial Summer 2000 season.
